Dr. Steiner's New Book

My latest book, Help Your Group Thrive:A Workbook and Planning Guide, Routledge Books, written for leaders of work groups, coaches, managers, book and service clubs is now available. This book is also for leaders of community organizations, self-help groups, writer’s and critique groups, and students of the social sciences, among others. Like my popular book for therapists, this workbook and planning guide includes an overview of different kinds of groups, leadership strategies, tips for dealing with common group challenges, and more. These valuable tools will take you from defining your group's mission to helping your group thrive.

I was honored to present a workshop, The Nuts and Bolts of Creating and Maintaining Groups that Thrive at the American Psychological Association’s Annual Convention August 9t, 2018.
